A review by vivvklaarbergen
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

5.0

I think the fact I read this in two/three days says enough. But honestly, I couldn’t put it down. It’s been very long since I haven’t scowled at a 500 page novel, but I could not put this book down. The plot felt a little far-sought in the beginning with the whole theater event, but after that? Amazing. I loved the characters. Literally, the side characters (especially Ansel and Coco and tbh even Beau) were so well formed and written. I loved that there were multiple secrets which were uncovered (aka plot twists) and I loved the world-building and the way that magic works. Also the ending? Had me on the edge of my seat and again another plot twist and god. Amazing all in all and I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book!
